Hello,

Is it possible to encrypt files on a CDRW? I can't
get it to work.

Thank you,

Brian

Hi,

You can only encrypt files on an NTFS volume. CDRW's do not use that file
system for storage.

You can't use the file system on a CDRW for encryption as it's not like
XP's NTFS file system on the hard disk which does encryption.

However, you can use a 3rd party encryption utility program to encrypt
files, and then put those encrypted files on the CDRW.
